The blog has not been updated since the end of break, but we still have been making progress... n stuff. We fit all the LEDs through the plywood board that were strung to wires to make them easier to attach to the breadboard. We also drilled holes on either side of the "screen" to insert the potentiometers as controllers. We used knobs from an old television's volume and channel controls to put on the knobs of the potentiometers to make them easier to twist. Henderson is currently working on attaching the LEDs into the new breadboard, while Ryan and Mike are polishing off the blogs and comments on the programming. We expect to have the wires fully attached and Pong completely working on the new playing board by the end of next week.

Instead of using one-light paddles on either side, we changed the values so that the paddles light up two LEDs at one time n stuff. We also had to change the analog values so that instead of it using pins 0-5, it now uses 0-4 because we used val+1, making it light up the original pin and the next one in succession, and you can't light up pins 5 and 6 when there is no pin 6 n stuff.

We're drilling a small plywood board to fit the LEDs through to make a grid instead of the original idea to string them through cut out parts of cardboard.

Problems: Make the paddles light up two LEDs at once instead of just one LED. The game is basically unplayable right now because the paddle doesn't allow any room for error -  the paddle has to be exactly where the ball lands on your side or you miss it and your opponent gets the point. With two LED's, it increases your chances of deflecting the ball by 100%. While trying to add a second LED to the paddle, Ryan somehow made the paddles completely invisible. Ryan also fixed the sound so that it makes a noise when the ball deflects off of the neutral walls. The paddles are now visible, but still only light up one LED.

Henderson did Psychology. Mike wrote this blog.

Problems: Make noise when the ball hits the side.
Play music for the winning side.

Problems Overcome: Make noise when the ball hits the side.
